Presto Pasta Night Roundup 23

Here we are with another wonderful Presto Pasta Night Roundup– just 3 more to the big 6 month anniversary (can you say that? Probably not, but you know what I mean). I need some ideas from you for a really big celebration. This week, whether you say tomAto or tomAHto, there are tons of choices. Check them all out and look at all the other wonderful pasta choices too.

Chris of Mele Cotte missed PPN fun last week and made up for it with a vengence. He made his own Tomato Sauce and uses it on a gorgeous Walnut Pesto Ravioli and a Quick Lasagna. Hope he put some in the freezer for other spontaneous creations.

Elizabeth, of Invite the Party is back with what is my favorite (don't you love how many "favorite" things I have) dish to make this time of year...fresh Basil Pesto. Here it is on some pasta with lovely homegrown cherry tomatoes.

And now for me... still no kitchen but we do have the keys to our new (and fantastic if I say so myself) apartment. Hopefully this will be the last week of no cooking. I’m anxiously waiting for all my kitchen toys and cookbooks to arrive with the rest of our stuff.The gorgeous Seafood Linguine with a Creamy Pernod and Dill Sauce was had at Niche and the Lazybone Marinara Sauce will be one of the first things I cook once I’m settled in.

Remember - anyone out there with a pasta dish, I will continue to add submissions until Saturday . After that, I will add them to next week's PPN Event. So don't forget to join in with the rest of us Presto Pasta Nighters. It's easy and fun. Remember that ALL noodles dishes count as pasta and "presto" (ready) or "lento" (slow) are perfect. Find out how right here. In the meantime... Happy Pasta Eating!!!
